On an evening walk south of town in June 2005, my friend Sara and I spotted a dove hopping on one foot as if it were lame. It was trying to draw our attention from its nest nearby. We looked around us and quickly spotted two plump baby doves sitting on the ground unable to fly off. I photographed them and then we retreated so that their parents could return to feed them.
